"Excellent reporting @dbroze, I've been following this story very closely over the last 2 years and it's ~~un~~believable that with all the evidence and victims that have come forward that the man was given such a light sentence. Without a shadow of a doubt the ruling class and wealthy are not subject to the same laws and consequences that average citizens are.

I really have to tip my hat to your investigation on this as you've turned up a lot of information that I wasn't aware of. One of the things that's so striking is the footage of Epstein's Palm Beach home and all of the photographs of young girls covering the walls.

Another thing is the young girls used as recruiters, I understood that Ghislaine Maxwell performed this duty for Epstein too. Having the younger girls recruit new victims is reminiscent of some of the stories from young boys in the Franklin scandal in Nebraska.

Lastly, the publishing of Jeffrey Epstein's black book and the flight logs by Gawker are probably the strongest evidence available. As you know, Gawker was basically bankrupted by the Hulk Hogan lawsuit which was financially backed by Peter Thiel. I wouldn't be surprised if the publication of Epstein's black book was the real impetus for the take down of Gawker and the Hulkster's case was simply a convenient cover.

Looking forward to part II, for sure!
